Roseanne's Adaptation
Published July 16, 2003
I was a big fan of the Roseanne show. But this chick really badly needs to get over herself at this point.
Produced by Barr and The War Room documentarian R.J. Cutler, The Real Roseanne Show chronicles her efforts to start a new cooking program called Domestic Goddess. It features her wolfing doughnuts with celebrity friends such as Sandra Bernhard, and consulting numerous rabbis to help her deal with psychological problems and the people around her.
After the six-week series ends, the cooking program Domestic Goddess will begin running on ABC's Family cable channel.
I understand about celebrities having egos and narcisstic tendencies, but seriously. She's got a 13 episode series starting on ABC on August 6 all about her trying to learn how to be nice to people while she prepares to start a cooking show.
I had an ominous feeling when I saw Adaptation. Now I'm starting to see why. I'm afraid the whole frickin' town is about to disappear right up into their own belly buttons.

Dang it, you beat me to posting this story, but here is what I would have said about it:
I don't whether to kick this over to David Foster Wallace for analysis
OR
figure out which level of Hell this show came from and what do I need to do to avoid ending up there.
Hmmm . . . which one of the Deadly Sins would be punished by having to watch a show with Roseanne . . .

Who produces these shows? Who decides, nope Roseanne your 15 minutes is not up? Yes, Roseanne your ex-husband is more popular than you right now, so go out out there and knock 'em dead. Maybe they should invite her on the "Best Damn Sports Show" and cook up something there?
